SAME THING OVER AGAIN.
What Few lilts the Miners Made Were
Distributed and Montreal Won
Easily.
It was tho same old story:
The Montrcnls came to town with
'nice, new, natty and neat IIkIU Bray
uniforms, a swapper air and a bull
pup decorated with rod llbbon and a
becked tall. It hasn't been deter
mined whether the uniforms, the swag-
' fjcr or the bull pup flabber-casted the
Miners, but they wcie dauber-pasted
Just the same, and weie as near to
winning' the frame us Is the Washing
ton monument In danger of sinking
Into China.
Five hits scattered so far apart as
to be unnotlcable, the attempt of Gun
son to play left field and bunched
Montreal hits did the business. Kr
rors by Walteia and Gunbon gave
Montreal an unearned run In the open
ing Inning and It was not until the
sixth that the Miners could tie the
score. In that Inning Harper's single
and fast sprinting and Bonner's two
baser earned n tun.
Up to the eighth inning the only hits
off Harper were a bunt by Shearon and
Shannon's grounder, which was stop-
' ped by Sullivan, but couldn't be field
ed. In the eighth two singles and a
base on balls with one out and Shear
on's two-baser, developed three runs,
two of them earned.
Score:

In Music Hall tonight the 20-round
boxing contest for a decision between
Marty McCue, of New York city, and
Hugh Fltzslmmons, of Brooklyn, N. Y.,
ought to furnish one ot the fastest and
most scientific exhibitions ot fistic
cleverness yet witnessed In this city,
not excepting the Dobbs-McWInters
battle of two weeks ago. That Is say
ing a good deal, but the records ot the
two men and tho repute In which they
are held in and about New York city
Insures the belief that a large audi

that they will not be disappointed In
seeing a lively contest.

Sporting Editor of The Tribune.
Dear Sir: Please nnswer this question:
If a man Is on first base, or any other
base, and tho batsman bats a. foul ball
and the pitcher gets It, Is the man out on
first base It ho steps eff before tho pitcher
gets in the box? Also: How far it Is
from homo baso to second? Yours truly,
"A Friend."
Dunmore, Pa., Sept. 1.
We presume you mean that the pitcher
did not catch the foul fly. In that case
tho ball cannot be put In play until after
the pitcher has taken his position In the
box, no matter whether the runner has
returned to tho base or not. It Is 121 1-3
feet from home to i.Mond In a direct line.

Oood S?ort Furnished in All the Classes.
Foul Was Claimed Against
Driver Spear.
Hartford, Conn., Sept. 1. Seven
heats were trotted by the 2.30 horses
at Charter Oak park today without a
decision being reached. After captur
ing the second nnd third heats, George
anna looked like a euro winner. On
account of a break in the next heat
she dropped to last place, and two
breaks In the fifth caused her to bo
shut out. Town Lady was doing the
steadiest work In thut class, though
she got only one heat. There are
many who look for her to win tomor
row. Nearly all the finishes In this
race were close, and the three horses
who still remain In appear to have an
even chance, Judging from today's
form. Summary:

Riders whoso physical strength will
not permit them to tako part in cen
tury runs or to perform any feat of
speed or great endurance may tako
satisfaction In tho fact that strength
Is by no means synonymous with
health. The history of sport shows that
professional athletes do not as a rulo
live out more than half their time, fig
uring on the Biblical estimate.
The Individual who constantly main
tains the physical condition commonly
known aa "in training" Is peculiarly
liablo to succumb to disease and end
his days aboAit the time ho should bo
preparing to enjoy life. Physical wreck
age is uouna to bo the result of per
sistent ovcr-exertlon and, fortunately,
professional bicyclists and ambitious
amateurs often fall to properly locate
the safety point In their Individual
cases.
